can someone please f-ing help me with chem homework? this is ridiculous. i've got the answer, but the site that i have to submit it on isn't taking it in my form. wrong sig digits or something. i know there are some smart people on here! i'll be doing an all nighter, so if you can help at any time, you rock.

the problem is that i have to find the volume of the container that has 133.48g of mercury in it. d=13.53 g/cm^3.

yeah i know, it's simple. i've done this since 9th grade. but the computer doesn't give me partial credit for not geting sig figs right.

i've come up with 9.865. the number is longer, but i have to answer with the least number of sig figs that my data has. (4 in 13.53) it doesn't take that. or any thing else that i can come up with.

PLEASE!

 

are you doing the masteringchemestry.com homework?

if so i feel your pain mine is the same way.

try going to only 3 sig figs somtimes it works

 

nah i'm doing webassign.com. thanks though. i'll give it a try

 

i tried it. neither 9.86 or 9.87 or 9.8655. am i just doing the problem wrong?

 

Wouldn't 4 sig figs round to 9.866 from the 9.8655? And is the container cylindrical?

 

that didn't work either. thanks for the suggestion though. the whole number is 9.865484109. the answer that the calculator gives that is

 

man... i just realized i dont remember highschool at all thanks to this thread.... haha. also i got a speech tommorow havent started on it.... lol. oh well.

 

you doing an all nighter too?

 

**** no, ima try to get some *****. its a narrative speech about a light bulb moment, i can BS my 3 minutes and get an A for that subject hahaha... only problem is i need to make some notes or something for the teacher and maybe for myself to keep my thoughts organized.

 

dont you have to have the shape of the container to find the volme?
not the ammount of mercury in it cause i could have a bottle with mercury in it and it will have the same volume if i dump alll the mercury out can you copy and paste the problm on here ill look at it since im closing here at work with nothing to do

 

hmm. well you could try to help me do this chem! this is seriously stupid! i have the answer and it won't take it!

 

ahhh right you are lifegrddude. thanks a bunch. i'll have another question up in a minute i'm sure. it's those simple mistakes that make you feel stupid as a...... don't want to make anybody mad lol

 

well i didn't need to know the shape for this one because the problem was to find the volume using mass of the fluid and i was given the density. it ended up being a stupid mistake that was making me get it wrong. i'll let you know when i get to my next big hold up. thanks for all the suggestions.

 

no prob just post it all ill be here till 9 or so az time

 

well it's 9 here right now. so what are you? -3?

 

lets talk about something important like how the world is ending soon....

 

im located in arizona its 6:15 here

 

wow. yeah 3 hours behind

 

no we are on time you are 3 hours early lol

 

how about this. on the computer, i have to type 0.00047 in scientific notation. wtf? i could do it in word, but this is the closest i have gotten on this they didn't take it.

4.7*10^-4

 

lol that's an argument that can't be won

 

Haha Large Hadron Collider for the win!

 

exactly ^^^^ so we got one thing in common ehhh... maybe my resentment for you will die haha... ahh who am i kidding, i can only hate truly ridiculous people



oh and they start that bitch up tomorrow i believe

 

yeah true that. i looked into it and it looks like the chances are less then existing that it will actually end the world

 

lol they are accelerating particles near the speed of light i think they think they could almost reach it and then want them to collide, thats like splitting atoms, atomic bomb ****, worm holes from the speed of light, and dark matter, the kinda stuff that if true (which they think they obsreved in space) that if it touches other matter it turns into dark matter and so on and so on. similare to a black hole. they are really ****in with nature on this one... its cool and interesting, but im honestly concerned for the world future because if the **** hits the fan, its hitting hard!
